Pedro's Pawn Shop

Pedro's Pawn Shop was a pawn shop located in the Little Havana district of Miami, Florida during the 1980s. The shop was owned by Pedro Suarez, and it was full of pawned goods; it offered to buy, sell, or trade its goods. Suarez was already engaged in criminal activity as the owner of hot merchandise, and, in 1984, he decided to become a part of Tony Montana's criminal empire in exchange for Montana moving the hot merchandise before the Miami Police Department could raid the store. Afterwards, Montana bought the store for $50,000, turning it into a front for his drug smuggling operation.
